I was a member of Orwell in the past. It's a tight knit club. Thoughts are with them all - another tragedy for them to deal with in a short space of time.

Dreadful news about a young woman only really starting her life.
Sincerest condolences to her family and friends and tonight am thinking of her clubmates who were with her at the time.
We are all family on the road, look after yourselves.

Have passed the Orwell groups in Kildare before or met them in the Phoenix Park before spins. My heart goes out to her family friends and club mates. The path ahead is a long one for them I think they can be assured we're all thinking of them and here to support them in any way we can.

Girl named and pictured in below link.

Unfortunately this went from a breaking news story, to a phonecall from my daughter to say her friend was killed.
She took up cycling only a few years ago and it transformed her life , so much so she had just booked a cycling holiday abroad later this year the day before .
Condolences to all close to her . RIP

Awful news, had a look at the Orwell site, some 3 to 4 weeks ago they set in motion to have a talk on Monday 20th , the topic being "cyclist down" can only imagine the sombre atmosphere at that, whenever it does go ahead. Terrible loss to all involved.
